Define part properties
|
1.
|
Select the Properties tab of a part. |
|
2.
|
In the Part Type field, select a part type, such as “Formatted Text and Images.” This is the type of content to include on the web page. After you save the part, you cannot change the part type. |
After you save a part, you can view its ID in the Part ID field. You can use this ID to identify the part in a URL for a traffic measurement service, such as Google Analytics. For more information, see Site Tracking URL Information for Google Universal Analytics Goals.
|
3.
|
In the Part Name field, enter a name such as “Mission Statement” to allow users to quickly identify the information in Parts. The name is for internal use and does not appear on the website. |
|
4.
|
In the Part Description field, enter any additional information to identify the part. |
|
5.
|
In the Target Language field, select a language for content in the part. If the website user’s primary language for the Internet browser is selected to the same language in the field, the part appears on the web page. If the browser is selected to a different language, the part does not appear. If the part applies to all languages, leave the default “<All>” in the field. |
The languages that appear in the drop down are those selected in the Language box on the Settings tab in Sites & settings. For more information, see Language settings.
|
6.
|
To design, style, and test a part on your website without creating transactions, generating emails, or communicating in any way with Blackbaud Services or The Raiser's Edge, select Test Mode. For more information, see Test Mode. |
The Test Mode checkbox appears on the Payment, Donation Form, and Event Registration Form parts. Only users with supervisor rights can view parts in Test mode.
|
7.
|
To make the part available within a certain time frame, select Scheduled Publishing. When you select this checkbox, the date fields are enabled. |
Note: If you do not select Scheduled Publishing, no time limits exists for the part.
|
a.
|
In the Publish Date field, enter the date and time the part first becomes available on your site. |
|
b.
|
In the Expiration Date field, enter the date and time the part becomes unavailable on your site. |
If an expired part exists on a live web page on your site, the part does not appear. The other parts on the page dynamically fill the space where the expired part previously appeared.
Note: When you host multiple sites and edit part properties, the Assign to site field appears so you can move a part from its current site to another site. If the part is in use on a web page on the source site, it continues to appear on that site. However, the part is now associated with the target site and its security. When you move a part, some parts require you to configure options again when you edit the part's design after the move. For example, the eCards part requires you to select an eCard template before you save it. During this time, there are no disruptions to the part on your site. It maintains the original configuration until you edit the part.

|
If you plan to use the part on a site that is a template for multiple sites, you can create a single instance of the part when you copy the site so you only have to make changes to one instance. To create a single instance, select Share part across sites. To limit the users who can edit the shared content, assign security rights from the Targeting & Security tab. For information about how to copy a site, see the Copy a Site. For information about the Targeting & Security tab, see Targeting & Security Tab. |
Note: This option appears for the Formatted Text and Images, Slideshow, and Unformatted Text parts.
When you select Share part across sites, the Allow users who do not have permission to edit content to create a local copy checkbox appears. If you select this checkbox, users without permission to edit shared content can copy it.
